Abstract
Optineurin (OPTN) is a widely expressed multifunctional articulatory protein that participates in cellular or mitochondrial autophagy, vesicular transport, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress via interactions with various proteins. Skeletal development is a complex biological process that requires the participation of various osteoblasts, such as bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), and osteogenic, osteoclastic, and chondrogenic cells. OPTN was recently found to be involved in the regulation of osteoblast activity, which affects bone metabolism. OPTN inhibits osteoclastogenesis via signaling pathways, including NF-κB, IFN-β, and NRF2. OPTN can promote the differentiation of BMSCs toward osteogenesis and inhibit lipogenic differentiation by delaying BMSC senescence and autophagy. These effects are closely related to the development of bone metabolism disorders, such as Paget's disease of bone, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoporosis. Therefore, this review aims to explore the role and mechanism of OPTN in the regulation of bone metabolism and related bone metabolic diseases. Our findings will provide new targets and strategies for the prevention and treatment of bone metabolic diseases.
